Kimberly-Clark and Royal Caribbean are among the Mindshare clients that are interested in using data from The Weather Co. to adjust their media buys based on weather conditions.
Those clients and others will be able to access the media company's WeatherFX data platform via a partnership with WPP Group's Mindshare.
The partnership is non-exclusive, meaning that Weather can strike similar deals with other media agencies. Also, no money is changing hands, though Weather hopes that Mindshare will be more inclined to buy ads on its website, TV channel and mobile apps.
In a statement, Bob Ivins, Mindshare's chief data officer for North America, said that "people make a myriad of choices based on current and forecasted weather conditions—from what type of food or drink to consume [and] where to shop to planning vacations."
